Distant faces with no place left to go

Without you within me I can't find no rest

Where I'm going is anybody's guess

Her head was pounding bad. This was worse than any sickness or hangover she had ever had or could even imagine. To say that it would kill her to open her eyes was an understatement she really thought that she might just die if she did. But at the same time she knew her life could be in danger if she didn't. Opening her eyes she looked around the room, the setting sun just bright enough to get her surroundings.

Looking down she came to the conclusion she wasn't injured or at least anymore then she last knew. Ignoring the sudden dizziness washed over she forced herself to sit up looking around making certain she wasn't being held against her will. When she was finally sure she wasn't currently in any real danger she took a moment to let the pain subsided placing her hands in her head. After a moment she stood up slowly looking around the room it wasn't anywhere she was familiar with that was for sure which meant one thing she had to get out and fast.

She started searching around the room desperately for her shoes. She was so preoccupied that she didn't hear the footsteps walking down the hall that was until the door opened. Jumping slightly she spun around to see none other than Shikamaru leaning in the doorway looking unimpressed as always.

"Someone's finally up thought you were going to be out another day." He said putting a hand in his pocket as she looked at him confused.

"What do you mean? How long have I been out?" She asked still trying to put the bits & pieces together. She knew she was running but then what?

"Well you've been out almost 2 days since I found you. How long before that I'm not really sure." He said casually with a shrug. "You were in some bad shape but looks like you're on the mend now." He said watching as she kept looking around after a few moments he knew he had to ask. "What are you looking for Temari?" He asked keeping his bored expression with a sigh.

"My shoes I got to get out here." She said now looking under his bed in desperate hope maybe he'd put them there.

"No. You're not healthy enough to go." He said as she stood up & looked at him a look of realization dawned on her face.

"You have them!" She said pointing at him angrily. He let out a laugh in spite of himself it sure didn't take long for her to get her temper back.

"Maybe I do. But you're not leaving Temari." He said watching as she pushed past him into the hallway.

"Just watch me!" She yelled storming past him.

"You're not leaving!" He said as she searched through everything letting out an annoyed noise as he followed her. This girl was just determined to get herself killed and it was going to be his fault.

"I don't need my shoes." She said walking towards the door that was till she suddenly stopped moving.

"Fuck…" She muttered to herself she couldn't believe she had let herself fall into that trap again so easy she should've known he'd use his shadow on her.

"God damn it Temari! I said you're not leaving and that's final!" He yelled as she flinched slightly never have really heard the lazy ninja raise his voice let alone yell or at least directly at her before. This was something didn't go unnoticed by him. She couldn't help but follow him down the hallway back into the bedroom against her will as his shadow directed every one of her movements.

"Just let me go!" She yelled at him as he walked even quicker she could tell just from his posture and his pace he was more than angry at her, she didn't need to see his face to know that. They got into the room as he made a couple more quick hand signs and she found herself being forced to lie down back onto the bed.

"I really didn't want to do this Temari but I knew you too well." He said as she tried in vain to break the jutsu that beat her before glaring at him the whole time.

"Just let me leave damn it!" She said still struggling with all her might.

"And let you get kill? No." He said with a small almost mocking laugh. Then suddenly he did something she didn't expect he leaned down and grabbed her left arm pulling it to the top of the bed.

"What are you doing?" She demanded wishing more than ever she could punch him. He looked down at her, he thought he heard her voice wavier ever so slightly. No couldn't be Temari wouldn't do anything like that she was too tough.

"Come on you know I would never hurt you." He said leaning closer to her as she started straight into his eyes. He stared straight back something inside of her eyes seemed so off. He always remembered them as being a lot brighter but now they seemed so dull. "But I also told you I knew you'd do this so I came prepared." She was so caught up at looking at him she didn't notice the small click till it was too got off of her as she looked left in shock that he had distracted her enough to handcuff left arm her to the bed.

"What the hell!" She yelled trying to yank her arm free he just shrugged.

"Told you that I can't let you go out there I'd gladly talk about it if you're ready to be an adult." he said leaning against the door.

"Fuck you Nara!" She yelled he just shrugged and turned to walk out the room.

"Scream all you want my house is far enough away that nobody is going to hear you." He called from the hallway she glared at the spot he was standing as if he was still there.

"I am going to kill you, you son of a bitch!" She screamed even though she couldn't see it he just shrugged.

"Call me when you're ready to talk rationally."

He sat down out in the living room. He could still her as she yelled and struggled for over a good hour then whether or not he'd ever admit it he heard the quiet sobbing after that. It killed him to know that the woman he always found scary was in there injured and sobbing but he knew with Temari it'd be best to just let her get it out of her system. So he waited & he waited trying to think of something to do in the meantime. She couldn't stay that angry forever. Right? Yeah it was going to be a long night.

I don't mean to drag it on, but I can't seem to let you go

I don't wanna make you face this world alone

I wanna let you go (alone)


A/N: So I totally realized that I never specified ages in this story. Oppsie! In this chapter their ages are 23 & 25. In a couple chapters it's going to be a flash back to when they are 18 & 20 but I'll mention that next time.

Also anyone else think parts of this sound kind of 50 Shades of Grayish without being naughty? I was editing this & kept thinking "Man this just sound kinky but it's not!"
